We present real-world outcomes of patients with intractable dermatomal neuropathic pain treated with paresthesia-free, high-frequency SNRS. We demonstrate its effectiveness in providing pain reduction at a level comparable to tonic SNRS up to 24 months follow-up, without producing uncomfortable paresthesias.
